Beginning at the matinee Wednesday,
the great play, 1.-THE Silver King" will
be the attraction at Mozart Academy. II
will be produced by King Hedley and a
fine company. The play and the com
pany have been endorsed in Richmond
by large and enthusiastic audiences. The
scenery and the costumes are new and
the play will no doubt be greeted by
crowded audiences Until further or
ders the matinees will begin at 2 o'clock
promptly, on account of the length Of the
play.
The Monarch Minstrels Tonight.
A packed audience at the minstrel en-
tertainment at Mozart Academy tonight
is already assured.
This is right. 1t is for the benefit of
the gallant Walker Light Guard-Com-
pany b, First Virginia regiment. The
attractions will be first-class, and the
very best amateur talent in the city will
take part. There are still many good
seats, but all who wish to enjoy real
carnival of fun should secure their seats
at the Academy box-office this morning.
Mrs. Barry and Mr.. Redmund at the
Theatre.
1t has rarely been the case that more
finished performance has been seen at
the Theatre than that last night of Mrs.
Thomas Barry and Mr.. William Red
mund in irene, the Hugenot Captain.
The play is a romatic one, and appeals to
all the better feelings of our common ma
ture.
AS the Duchess, Mrs. Barry rose up to
every requirement, and her acting was
worthy of the palmiest day of the old
Marshall.
As Rene, tie Captain, Mr.. Redmund |
was every inch the hero, and gave a man
ly and able rendition of the heroic char
acter. Every subordinate part was well |
and the scenery, costumes, and
music were of the highest order To
night they present "The Midnight Mar
Rage and it is hoped that such an audi
,nce will greet them as their unques-
Toned merit demands.
The play is notable one Of the melO
order, containing many very
triking tableaux, elegant costumes, and
perfect gems of scenery.
Their performance of the roles Of the
zero and the heroine in this romantic
LAY has received the endorsement of the
most critical audiences in every metro
'olitan city.
Richmond owes it to her reputation as
patron of elegant drama and artistic
citing to give these true artists proper
'atrOnage.

The Mozart Musicale,

The programme last night was a very
excellent one. The two orchestral num-
bers were executed in the usual fine
style. The Arion Society sung two
choruses in an excellent manner, which
evidenced considerable improvement
since their last appearance. The baritone
solos of Mr.. Hay, of Washington, carried
the house by storm His Lord Lowell "
was immense. After his "COlered De-
batting Society" recitation, the most siren
uous efforts were made to force the
management to break the rule of no en-
care, but it did not succeed. Long after
the Arions came on the stage to sing
they were treated with great discourtesy
by a continual stamping and humping,
but to the credit of the committee be it
said, the encore was not allowed. This
is proper. Stand by your colors, and if
any attempt is made to take possession of
the hall, ring down the curtain, put out
the lights, and freeze the audience out.
That is the only way to make some peo-
pie observe the regulations. The must
Gale was one of the merriest and best for
a long time.

Judge George c. Barrett, before whom

Curious Clocks.

When the Emperor, Charles v, of
Spain, retired to the Monastery of st.
Yuste, he took with him Torriano, his
clock-maker, in order to while away the
time by constructing the movements of
clocks. So wonderful were some of the
pieces of work which they made, that the
monks would not believe any one except
the devil had a hand in them. until the
machinery was shown to them by the ex-
Emperor. 1t was ordered by Charles
that when he should die all these clocks
should cease running-and it is said to
be fact that his orders were obeyed.
Another King of Spain came TO Geneva
to see a clock which had been made By
Droz, a merchant of that city. Upon
the clock were seated a shepherd, a
negro, and a dog. As the hour was
struck, the shepherd played upon his
flute, and the dog Played gently at his
feet, But, when the King reached forth
to touch an apple that hung from a tree,
under which the shepherd rested. the
dog flew at him and barked so furiously
that live dog answered him. and the
whole party left in haste. Venturing to re-
turn, one Of the courtierS asked the negro.
IN Spanish. what time it was. There
was no reply; but when the question was
repeated in French, an answer was given.
This frightened the courtier, who reioined
his companions, and all of them voted
that the clock was the work of the evil
one.
Upon the belfry Of the Kauthaus, in

Most of the superstitions about the

unlucky over the left; but to see It
straight before is good fortune to the end
of the month In Renfrewshire, if a
mans house be burnt during the wane of
the moon it is unlucky, but if the moon
is waxing it is lucky. To have money,

at that time is token of good fortune,
but to be without it is very bad omen.
In Orkney it is considered very unlucky
